Microsoft fixes connection problems with Windows Update
Microsoft has been having DNS issues, with the result that Windows users did not get their updates. Microsoft has confirmed that the problems are solved and updates can be installed again.
Windows Update went globally offline, although the issue presented itself mostly towards users from the United States and the United Kingdom. Windows Update no longer wanted to work due to DNS problems, Microsoft said. Microsoft mentions that the issue at hand should have been be solved on the day itself, but that there were still people with connection problems because the DNS servers had not yet been updated with the new data entries.
“The Windows Update service was impacted by a data corruption issue in an external DNS service provider global outage on January 29, 2019. The issue was resolved on the same day and Windows Update is now operating normally, but a few customers have continued to report issues connecting to the Windows Update service. We expect these issues will go away as downstream DNS servers are updated with the corrected Windows Update DNS entries.”

I am still using the stable, smooth and polished v1709 Win 10 Pro and set deferred feature update to 1 year. I haven't faced any issues related to Windows 10 like data deletion, application/driver incompatibilities or this windows update issue etc. I would continue using v1709 with customized update settings which is the way Windows 10 to be in the first place.

Windows 8.1 here, no updates just strait up clean install and then windows update disabled before connecting to the net, no issues for months now.
Although I still use 10 on a laptop every day, I hate the damn thing.

You are aware that in Win10 you can set internet connection (either WIFI or Ethernet) as a metered one which disables updates, aren't you?

I have my Windows 10 updates delayed by six months. I'd prefer someone else find the bugs.
